Hello,
The arrival of rust-dark orange-earth orange bricks have made way for a new
fire station. This one inspired by the station on Webster Ave in the Bronx.
A typical modern station in NYC. Colors match the actual one pretty closely,
I made the angled wall more prominent than the actual station. This one
needs back walls & a roof to be completed. Rig assignments have been made as
well for this station. A pumper (modeled after Seagrave Custom pumper) and a
rear mount ladder truck (modeled after Seagrave 100 foot rear mount).

Here is the folder with pic's:

Rig assignments have been made for my Great Jones Street Station (replica of
a station in Manhattan) as well. They are included in this folder. They
include the same style pumper and a mid-midmount tower truck (modeled after
a Seagrave 95 foot mid-mount).


If you get a moment please LMKWYT.

Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

Jonathan... Those FDNY models are REALLY beautiful... excellent work! I think I'll point some of my FDNY friends to your Brickshelf pages... Might make them smile a little. :-) onedaycnn (Sid) (URL) Any get-togethers coming up soon? (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Rocks. Why the diagonal entry? Prototype trucks have trouble with a right angle entry onto Manhattan streets? (turn radius and all that?) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.town)
